Colorado Rockies vs Detroit Tigers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/10/24, 10:08 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 9/10/24 at 10:30 AM in MLB Picks

The Rockies are 22-53 on the road this year, only the White Sox are worse, and they head to Detroit in a series where the Tigers are the favorites and, if they sweep, could unlikely challenge the Twins for one of the wild cards. The Tigers, Red Sox and Mariners are all within three games of the Twins going into the stretch. The Twins and Red Sox will face each other in a key series while the Tigers will close out their season against the White Sox in the season finale.

Sweeney, the trade piece Flaherty traded for, had his best day so far since being called up from triple-A in the last game where he had four hits and a HR.

Against the worst bullpen in MLB, the Rockies, the Tigers are likely to score several runs in this series, if they do, it would almost guarantee a victory as the Tigers have an excellent record of 48-9 when they score 5 or more runs.

Montero is scheduled to start for the Tigers, after his team won 3 of his last 5 starts, the Tigers lost the last 2 times Montero started, he could only pitch 4.1 innings against the Padres to whom Montero allowed 5 ER and 7 hits.
